Bridal Shower Tea

We hosted my daughter’s bridal shower tea at the 1859 in April and loved it so much!
Kate was amazing! Starting from the initial tour, she asked all the right questions, gave us great ideas and provided names of potential vendors we could use to make the event run smoothly. During the planning process, she was quick to respond to any questions we had regarding the space. The guests couldn’t believe how beautiful and tastefully decorated the venue was. It’s an eclectic mix of preserving cozy and nostalgic old decor with all new kitchen amenities and technological features that make it totally functional for big parties.

Kate is amazing!

The 1859 made our dream into more than we could have ever hoped for! Kate helped us plan our big day while being flexible with our schedule and changing requirements. We also received plenty of great referrals to fill in the gaps in our wedding. 5 stars!!

It was perfect

We loved the 1859 for our wedding ceremony. Kate was quick to help us with our needs and very accommodating. The day of the wedding something always falls through and she found ways to make it just as special. Cannot thank them enough for how beautiful they made our wedding. It was the best choice we made besides getting married!
